I need some Deuce Governor and Fuel Linkage Expertise....Please
I have an 1966 Non-Turbo 465 LD with only 6,600 miles and 450 hours with a newer G code Injection Pump. I have retimed the truck and it runs great; starts off first fire-off even in 20 degree weather after sitting 4 days straight. Also there is very little smoke with it being a non-turbo. I have flushed the fuel system / new filters and all. The truck would not rev over 1600 rpms, so we adjusted the governor rev lever "it bottomed out" got the truck up to 2000 rpms. Thought maybe the fuel was cut down, so checked the engine stop valve to make sure it was not interfering with operations and it was fine. Thought maybe fuel was cut down so increased the fuel input, no advantages; so we turned back down the fuel. What I did notice with the cover off over the fuel linkage & block/stop component was that the fuel adjustment linkage "hammer" sits flat on fuel block when not running, when the truck is cranked it moves / equalizes to about 10%f rom the cab side at idle "which is what the engine stop pulls back further to shut off the engine. When the throttle is pressed the"hammer" taps the fuel block and returns back to / equalizes to about 20-25% from the cab side which is at full throttle showing 2000 rpms. While running, if I slowly move the "hammer linkage" towards the fuel block/stop the truck rpms will raise to the correct 2600 rpms or "where ever I wanted to stop it at". While I was manually doing so, I raised it up to 3000 rpm once; once I get the fuellinkage problem fixed I will correct the exterior governor lever to the level that will not allow it to over rev. Does anyone know what my internal linkage problem is in the fuel adjustment / governor weight area, that is causing it not to stabilize / move up to the correct "higher" RPM without manually advancing the linkage /hammer with my finger? I only need to move it forward about .5 of an inch to get 2600 rpms.
